  2. mustang pickup covers (black JMJ / aged white Novak vintage size)

    Comment by 'ElCrowg' on the classified ad 'mustang pickup covers (black JMJ / aged white Novak vintage size)'

    I *think* (and that is always dangerous for me) that I got them from Curtis Novak as well. If I recall correctly, he sells two different sizes and I went back and got the correct ones from him... but, that could be wrong.

    JMJ Signature Road Worn Mustang!

    I did. Not good. The "super-polished" thing is a marketing lie. I would name them "barely polished round wounds". For round wounds, they are nice, but they are not anything like I expected. Lots of zingy brightness and string noise. Very rough to the touch.

    Best looking semi-hollow bass guitars

    Yeah, I initially ran across Mike (Ingold) on Reddit too. Initially I was just spitballing with him and asked if he'd consider making a short scale bass version of his semi-hollow guitar (he didn't have that as an available model at that time, after making mine he decided to make it a regular...

    breaking a string live

    I would say: do what makes you feel relaxed and prepped. If you're the type that's going to stress about the what ifs- bring a back up set of strings or a bass. I used to tour professionally: for fly in gigs, I never had a backup instrument (if something were to go wrong, we're either fixing it...

    Double Bass What to charge to rent my bass for a night?

    I'd guess that unless you're willing to go to the show and babysit your instrument, it's not going to be worth it.

    Since my band folded, I thought I would make a silly video advertising my services as bass

    Fun! Good idea, too. If you're really going for laughs- add some star wipes for transitions. lol.

    MonoNeon just isn't for me, but I wish him well. Glad y'all are digging it! Definitely has a strong P-Funk bend on this one.

    What pickup configuration/tone do you find most useful?

    personally- I think the most versatile is my franken-j with a nordstrand MM pickup at the bridge and a nordstrand j in the neck. but that wasn't an option on the poll. :)

    Why is the Boss tuner among the top tuners?

    I've had the same TU-2 since the 90s and it's been all around the world with me and it's never caused any problems. It's tough, reliable, easy to see and I just can't see any reason to spend money to upgrade something like a tuner with no actual downsides in order to have something with very...

    Who builds short-scale basses?

    I've got an Ingold semi-hollow shorty that I love. It was a custom commission that he liked so much he started making them as part of his production line. His website is a bit of a mess at the moment (I think he's working on updating a lot of it and in the meantime it's not so great), but I can...

    JMJ Signature Road Worn Mustang!

    Congrats on the new bass! From my experience: My JMJ came from sweetwater with a thirsty fretboard, too. A little oil like you did and it's been no issue at all. It's definitely a crappy gig bag that comes with it. I keep mine in a mono gig bag. BassYoda has a great thread on here of better...

    JMJ Signature Road Worn Mustang!

    I wish I had refinishing skills, but when I've tried it's gone horribly, horribly wrong. My peavey patriot bass from my teen years bears the evidence of my lack of painting ability. I sent this one off to MJT to refinish after I'd done re-contouring work (I put in a countoured neck heel and...

    It's hard to read the color of the pickup covers in a photo because my phone wants to "read" that color as pure white so the color doesn't quite come out how it looks to my eyes. Here's another attempt:

    JMJ Signature Road Worn Mustang!

    I think when I bought them from Curtis two years ago they were $20ish? I could be wrong. I just scuffed them with some light sandpaper and then brushed a little turmeric tea on them. They were way too yellow for me after that so I used a cotton buffing attachment a dremel to bring them back a...

    I've done the same mods to mine (and more!). I did use Novak for the covers, and aged the white ones a little to make them match. I bought this thumb rest: https://reverb.com/item/41515693-bass-guitar-rosewood-thumb-rest-for-fender-jazz-precision-p-bass-new

    I'm curious if you've seen Ingold's booth yet? I commissioned a custom from him last year sight unseen (risky!) but I've loved it. I'm curious how the booth looks. I think they are at booth 1835 for whatever small help that is.

    Does pick gauge affect your hand?

    Ive gotten into felty picks lately and have been loving them. They're stupid thick - 2 or 3mm easily, but I really enjoy the feel- comfortable and forgiving on my hand and the tone is great.
